The Patek Philippe Reference 5101 is a marvel of complexity, embodying the brand's hallmark traits of discretion and understated elegance.
Its design features striking triple-stepped flanks, reminiscent of the iconic Art Deco motifs from Patek Philippe's storied history in the 1920s and 1930s. The gracefully curved case seamlessly integrates with the convex sapphire crystal, ensuring a comfortable and stylish fit on the wrist. Powering the Reference 5101 is Patek Philippe's in-house caliber 28-20/222, ingeniously combining two rare complications in a compact space. Two mainspring barrels provide energy for an impressive 10-day power reserve, easily replenished with approximately 100 turns of the crown. A sophisticated coupling system prevents overwinding, disengaging the barrels when fully wound. The second complication, a one-minute tourbillon carriage comprising 72 intricately crafted components weighing a mere 0.3 grams, is discreetly nestled beneath the classic blue dial. Through the transparent sapphire crystal case back, aficionados can admire the intricate tourbillon alongside the meticulously decorated plate and bridges, showcasing the exquisite craftsmanship and technical prowess synonymous with Patek Philippe.
The present model comes with Patek Philippe Certificate of Origin, Patek Philippe seal certificate, leather binder with instruction and presentation case with outer packaging.
